This is exciting. We are going full blast into toy reactors. The hope of toy reactors is that they will cost less per MW than real reactors, and you can put them anywhere. This comes from a standard design and simple operation.
All this hope is from Influencer Science and Engineering. This is a small version of a US boiling water reactor. It needs enriched uranium to get a higher power density than the standard candu reactor. Can it be built without any sign of intelligence? Remains to be seen.
Both Pickering and these new plants require a tunnel for the intake water. Pickering will be fun because it is on horribly munged-up rock. Darlington will be a cake walk. Of course, with all those new PR people from nosa and nooaa, we won't hear anything.
The general level of stupidity for tunnels can be derived by a machine that has been stuck under Toronto for ages, the Niagara Tunnel to Nowhere, and the Ottawa LRT. Doesn't look good, but I am always happy.
